January • Swim Club Restaurant

The Festive Pickling Workshop invites Friends of Aliée to explore the colourful world of seasonal fermentation with culinary expert Begüm Yaramancı.

Held at the Swim Club Restaurant, the session transforms winter vegetables, herbs and spices into vibrant jars of handcrafted pickles rich in flavour and personality. Guided by Begüm Yaramancı, guests learn the fundamentals of flavour layering, brining and balancing acidity — uncovering how simple ingredients evolve into a festive pantry staple.

From selecting produce to crafting a distinct taste profile, every step blends creativity, craft and a playful sense of seasonality. Participants leave with their own jar of festive pickles, ready to enjoy or share as a thoughtful seasonal gift.
